Vishinsky. Attacks Truman's Position . Osi Atomic Control

PARIS, Npv. 4. (UP) The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly approved today the United States plan for international control of the world's atomic energy

iacumes. PARIS, Nov. 4. (UP)

sky attacked President Truman's position on international control, of atomic energy today and said there was no basis

for agreement between the East and the West.

President Truman's position, Vishinsky said in a full dress' session of the United Nations General Assembly, was a

vicious circle of contradiction. "President Truman said

States must continue development of atomic weapons until

the correct form of international control is assured," Vishinsky said.

"This means no more or no less than adoption of the American control plan, which must be con trolled by, the government of the "If this is his attitude, how can you approach the problem of pro-,

Vishinsky spoke for 88 minutes in opposition to a resolution endorsing the American control' plan for atomic energy. The reso-j lution also calls on the Big Five powers and Canada to consult in I the coming year in search of a basis for agreement on atomic energy. United States Delegate Warren Austin told the Assembly yester'day that the United States hoped for. important high level conferences with Russia in the coming year in an effort to break the East-West stalemate. Scoffs At Resolution. Scoffing at this, and at the resolution, Vishinsky said: "There 'is no basis forv such an agreement Consultations that already have . taken place show there is no such basis for agreement. We would keep on consulting, marking time, an3 one year later we would come to the General Assembly and tell the results. What is the outcome. Nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing whatsoever." In his speech he stated again Russia's rejection of almost every basic principle of the majoritybacked American proposal for a control authority that would own and operate all the world's atomic energy facilities. However, he threw in one statement which appeared to contradict his repeated shout that there was "no basis for agreement." "v t May Open Door. He said the problem of settling the world quotas for ownership and production of atomic materials a matter touched upon in different ways by both the American and Soviet atomic plans should be "carefully explored be1 cause they may open the door to success." "This may break the deadlock," Vishinsky said. Vishinsky's attack on President Truman came near the end of his speech, and nowhere in his

Parnell Thomas, New Jersey Republican, went before a Federal grand .jury today, but refused to testify on charges of taking salary "kickbacks" from his office employes. Thomas, chairman of the House un-American activities committee at least until Jan uary, appeared only briefly be fore the grand jury. He was in the grand jury room less than five minutes. His attorney said that on his advice the Congressman had "reluctantly" agreed not to testify before the grand jury because it would serve "no use ful purpose." .. As Thomas left the grand jury room, he told reporters he had nothing to say about his brief appearance. But his attorney, William H. Collins, distributed a brief statement to newsmen which said: . I "Congressman Thomas arriv ed in Washington, D. C, yesterday and in compliance with understandings previously had, expected to appear before the grand jury today. "He retained me as counsel and after full conference with him I, as his , attorney, have recommended that he do not appear before the grand jury because it is my considered judgment no useful 5 purpose from his viewpoint will thereby be served. Congressman Thomas has reluctantly acquiesced in my advice." Many Red Fates As Truman Wins President Truman's victory in Tuesday's election caused a lot of persons to have red' faces. Most of them were way off base, and most of the Metropolitan Press had early editions on the streets Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning that proclaimed a Dewey victory. The Chicago Tribune was one of these. Although The Tribune was luke-warm toward Dewey from the start, they supported him. and the late Tuesday papers had in big headline across the front page: "GOP Wins White House." The United States News, in its issue dated tomorrow, says Dewey comes as the professional administrator." Life Magazine, in the Nov. 1 issue had a picture of Dewey on ferry in San Francisco harbor. The caption said, "The next president travels by ferry across the broad waters of San Francisco Bay." The Kiplineer Letter, now in the mails, will advise its readers of Dewey's plans for the coming administration. Rut nitv the nnnr renorter for The Wall Street Journal.

Arrows Play Vincennes Here Friday flight Sullivan's Golden Arrows will perform before the home fans for the last time tomorrow night when they play the Vincennes Alices at Sportland Field. The game will start at 7:30 p.. m. Although both schc-ols are members of - the S.I-A.C.r 'thfrf game will not count in the league standings, as the two schools are in different divisons of the league. , The Arrows aren't in too good a physical condition for their final home game. Some of the players are limping a little, and are bruised up from the grueling schedule the Arrows have played this year. Vincennes developed toward the end of the season. They have still to win their first game of the season, but last week they .scared the daylights out of the unbeaten but tied I Bloomington Panthers before' they lost by 14 to 12. Before'! that the Alices tied . New Albany 7 to 7 for their second tie game of the season. In the long series of AliceArrow rivalry, the locals hold a wide edge in victories. The first teams have played twentytwo games with Sullivan coming out on top in twelve of them. Vincennes has won . six. and four have been ties. But never has a Jones-coached Ar row eleven beaten Vincennes. The first year Coach Jones was in Sullivan his squad played a scoreless tie ' with the Alices. and since then they have dropped four straight games to the Knox County school. The starting , lineup " for the Vincennes Alices is uncertain, as different boys have been starting throughout , the year. However, based on their play in the last two games, the Alices might turn out to be hard for the Arrows to handle. Recorder's Office Has Big Month The county recorder's office was a busy place during October, Paul Owens, recorder, said today. His office handles 750 instruments during the month.

Schricker Gets Many Democrats In Statehouse INDIANAPOLIS, Novj 4-4U.R) Indiana Democrats, in the back seat for 10 years, today prepared to return to control of the Statehouse for the first time since the days of Paul V. McNutt and M. Clifford Town send. Latest and almost complete election returns from Ind iana's 4,056 precincts indicated that the Democratic candidates for the state's 10 other top elective offices besides governor would ride in on the White Hal of succssful Gubernatorial Nominee Henry Schricker. But it also looked as though their winning margins would not be as great as the nearly 140,000 votes that Schricker polled over his Republican rival, Hobart Creighton. The Democrats apparently were getting their healthiest margins in the races for Secre tary of State and LieutenantGovernor. With 3,706 precincts complete, Charles F. Fleming was nearly 58,000 votes ahead of Fred Ferrini and John A. Watkins had a near-45,000 mar gin over Incumbent Rue . J. Alexander. Other Democratic margin? ranged under 30,000 votes, al though the victory trend continued. In the auditor ry James J. Propst was some 30,000 out ahead of Ogles with 2,803- precincts repotted, - and Shirley Wilcox was ' running nearly 22,000 ahead of H. Dalr Brown for treasurer, with 2,742 precincts complete. For attorney general, J. Emmet McManamon had a margin of . nearly . 18,000 . over Incumbent Cleon Foust, . with 2,760 precincts complete, and Deanf E. Walker was some 15,00C votes ahead of Ben H. Watt foi Superintendent of Public Instruction, with 2,760 precinct? reported. Other Democratic candidate? who appeared to be headed for victory were Paul G.

The Big Mystery: Truman Strong CHICAGO, Nov. 4. (UP) Republicans and Democrats hunt ed today for an explanation of President Truman's unexpected trength in four populous farm states in the Middle West. Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Wis consin, and Indiana naa Deen counted among the "sure" Republican states oh the theory that the normally Republican farm vote would give them to the GOP. But Mr. Truman won the first four and gave Dewey a real fight in Indiana and the Dakotas. His showing in Indiana was credited with helping Indiana elect a Dem ocratic state administration. Different Opinions Politicians in both parties were trying to figure out what happen ed. They had some differing opin ions. There was some belief that the farmers thought a vote for Mr. Truman would be a vote for farm price supports while a vote for Dewey wouM be a vote against them. The President and other Democratic leaders had made all the capital they could out of a statement by Former Gov. Harold E. Stassen which was widely interpreted as voicing Dewey's .views.

He joked with reporters and photographers and shook hands with friends, among them H. R. Burgess, an expressman at the Independence station. As he shook hands with Burgess and flash bulbs popped, Mr. Truman laughed and said: "'It's terrible for an old rabbit like you to get all this advertising." The sendoff crowd was smaller than usual, mostly because Independence had virtually knocked itself out the last two nights listening to the election returns and then celebrating Mr. Truman's remarkable victory. The President got his first noisy"' welcome en route at Sedalia, Mo., where an estimated 1,000 persons crowded around the rear of the train during its 10-minufe slop. In the group were many girls from a Sedalia shoe factory who asked the President to present Mrs. Truman and Margaret. Speaks Briefly. The President spoke only briefly and informally. "I just wanted to thank tho people of Pettis County for their support," he said. "I'm glad to be

back In Sedalia but this time, I'm not looking for votes." Mr. Truman apparently was enjoying immensely an invitation from The Washington Post to attend a banquet in the capital for newspapermen, pollsters and radio commentators. Except for Mr. Trumanrihalguests win ea-t crow, Mr. Truman will have turkey. The President chatted with sev- . eral personal friends, including J Frank Monroe, real estate agent; Editor Kelly Scruton and Mayor Julian Bagley. More big celebrations were in store as the Presidential train rolled eastward with stops scheduled at St. Louis, Mo East St. Louis, 111., Vincennes and North Vernon, Ind., Cincinnati and Chillicothe O., and Parkersburg, Grafton and Keyser, W. Va, CALLS SCHRICKER A LITTLE EARLY INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4 (U.R) Someone called Governor Gates' office on the long distance telephone. But they asked for the wrong man. "Lafayette calling Governor Schricker," said the operator. Henry Schricker, newly-elected Governor of Indiana, wasn't due in until January, when the Governor's office at the Statehouse will be vacated by Governor Gates. Early in the campaign Stassen conferred with Dewey in Albany. Afterward at a news conference the Minnesotan accused the ad ministration of deliberately trying to keep food prices high. Secretary of Agriculture Charles Brannan immediately retorted that the Republicans were opposed to farm price supports and were out to kill them. The Republicans denied it, but the Democrats kept on the offensive and the denial may never have caught up with the charge. Blame Dewey Cyrus Phillips, Republican national committeeman for Wisconsin, laid much of the blame on Dewey himself for his loss in that state. Dewey never made an appearance in Wisconsin after the primary. Mr. Truman, on the other hand, waged an aggressive campaign in Wisconsin. Robert Tehan, the state's Democratic national committeeman, said the victory was due "entirely to just one little man named Harry Truman". Other leaders said Republican sentiment never was strong for Dewey in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or . Iowa. The party followers in those states favored Stassen as the party's standard-bearer.
